Re: Rani Ki Vav, The Queen's Stepwell
Stepwell or Baoli
Below the last step of the step well, there is a gate that leads to a tunnel 30 kilometer long that opens at the town of Sidhpur near Patan. It was built as an escape gateway which could be used by the king in the event of defeat during a war. The tunnel is now blocked by stones and mud.
